Toronto Mike just posted on how MP3's just aren't the same and I agree. My wife has been bugging me about my CD collection proudly on display in our small home and I tell her its something to be proud of. It should be displayed. I like looking at the CD covers and cases.

I as well have all of my CD's now converted to MP3 which is fine and I really don't need my CDs to play them, but I still like to take out the case and read the liner notes and see the art that goes with the music. MP3's are nice because they are certainly more portable than CDs and there is no worry about scratching an MP3, however, you lose the connection with the artist.

That is why I am happy to live about a block and a half from Frizb's. For a while I stopped buying  CD's. They are expensive at the traditional stores in the mall and even Bestbuy and besides, I could download off Limewire for nothing. I figured why spend X amount of dollars on a whole CD if 75% of the songs are junk and all I want to hear is what I like.

Frizb's takes some of the risk out of it with $5 Saturdays. They are small, yet their collection there is substantial and I always find something worth spending $5 on. I don't mind spending $5 on something, its spending $15 on half junk. That and instead of buying the .99 cent songs on Itunes that don't give you a hard copy with CD artwork, I'd rather have the artwork and hard copy and convert it to my ITunes library.

 I haven't been there in a few weeks with Christmas and that but I may stop by over the next few weeks so look for my Saturday's at Frizb's to start soon.....
